Why do people stare at me? Staring is a complicated thing. One of the obvious reasons someone might not be able to look away from you is that they are attracted to you and want to catch your attention by making eye contact. Or maybe you are doing or wearing something to draw attention to yourself and, as expected, people aren’t able to ignore it. Looking a person in the eye is almost as powerful as speaking to them, but there are people who don’t feel comfortable with prolonged eye contact. When we focus on others, a whopping 43% of the attention we give is dedicated to staring into their eyes. Those extended looks and the physical reactions to them can make the difference between appearing confident and coming across as weak.

1. 15 Reasons People Tend To Stare At You
1. They think you're beautiful.
Who doesn’t love to feast their eyes on a gorgeous person? That person who can’t seem to stop
staring could be attracted to you. Perhaps it’s your perfect face or your physique, but there is
just something about you that is alluring to them.
As TikToker and intuitive coach Teona Douglas explains, they see your light and just want a
piece of it.
2. They are putting a face to the name.
People who have heard about you before you’ve ever met them have a tendency to stare at you
in an effort to see if the rumors are true. They might even be trying to confirm in their own mind
that you are the person that has had everyone’s tongues wagging.
3. They see you and want to be you.
Imitation is the best form of flattery. Someone who admires you might be watching you carefully
to pick up on your style and influence. They are saving everything they noticed about you to
their database to emulate later on. You have an admirer.
4. They can feel your confidence.
Confident people pull others' eyes to them like a magnet, and they don’t mind. Everyone wants
to exude an air of self-assuredness, and when they see someone that embodies it, they stare in
either disbelief, jealousy, or appreciation.

2. 5. They are judging you.
Everyone has their own perspective and expectations about what is appropriate behavior to
exhibit in public. That uncomfortable stare might actually be a couple of judging eyes, watching
your every move and assessing you to decide if you are acceptable or not.
6. You have something on your face.
Sometimes that feeling that you have food stuck in your teeth or crumbs on your face is on
point. People may not know if it is okay to approach you or be apprehensive about
embarrassing you. A quick peek in the mirror can tell you if those subtle stares were a sign from
the personal hygiene god
7. You have an undeniable style.
Your style is an extension of your unique personality. If yours is impressive, it is only natural that
people will divert their eyes and take in the awesome specimen that is you. On the other hand,
you might be too flashy and people might find your style unappealing.
8. They want you to look at them.
There are times when people stare at you until you look up and make eye contact. The hairs on
the back of your neck stand up and you just know someone is looking in your direction. You look
around and, just like you thought, their eyes meet yours.
9. You're interesting.
Like with a good movie or a train wreck, people stare at things they find interesting or
entertaining. Something about you makes them want to see what you will do next. It could be
your style, your beauty, or your personality. Whatever it is, they are hooked and can’t even hide
it.
10. You look familiar.
Everyone has run into someone that they were certain they knew from somewhere. Perhaps
you took a long look at them, uncertain of whether it was the person you were familiar with or
not. People will stare at you because they think they recognize your features and are trying to
confirm your identity.
11. They are looking through you.
One of the most embarrassing things to do is assume someone is staring at you when they just
happen to be facing your direction while daydreaming. A third of our waking hours are spent

3. doing just that, so that person you think is enamored by you may not be thinking about you at
all.
12. You stand out in the crowd.
If you look different from everyone around you, people will naturally notice. Maybe you are a
woman in a sea of men or a child in a room full of adults. If something about you sets you apart
from everyone else, expect people to take notice.
13. They don’t know how to approach you.
A person that is not completely comfortable with initiating conversation might not know how to
approach you. Maybe they have some interesting news to deliver or simply want to introduce
themselves, so they are staring to figure out how they can best make their way over to you.
14. You’re doing too much.
You can’t run into a crowd and start screaming at the top of your lungs then wonder why people
won’t stop staring. If you make a scene, you should fully expect everyone within earshot to turn
around to see who in the world is acting so obnoxiously.
15. You don’t belong.
There are places where you might be unwelcome or unexpected. For instance, showing up to
an event that is invite-only when you were never invited will definitely cause people to stare and
even accost you. With people collectively losing their minds these days, we are being more
aware of our surroundings and people who stick out like a sore thumb.
What do you do when people stare at you?
The best thing to do when people stare at you is to simply ignore them. But if you’re feeling
especially adventurous, walk over and introduce yourself to see if there is a reason they have
taken notice of you.
If the person seems dangerous or creepy and makes you uncomfortable, stay around other
people and let someone know you don’t feel safe.
